I dry fired my bow ........Every night i pull and open up my bow to draw with all fingers and then ease off well my fingers slipped off as i was letting off and it went off im set at 50 pds and seems theres no damage. I looked at wheels string limbs everything even rubbed down with cotton notting so i go to a range today to shoot what do i do, hope for the best and shoot it, or be scared.

If it's a newer bow you likely have nothing to worry about. Inspect the limbs again for any cracks you may have missed and if a second search turns up nothing, I think you're in the clear.

the bow needs to be broken down and the axles need to be checked. could have slightly bent them. you can just roll them on a very flat surface and see. make sure the string and cables didn't jump the track for a minute and get a slice. look at all the serving real well. check the cam walls for bending. when all that's done, keep an eye on those limbs for delaminating, flaking, or hairline cracks for a month or two.
oh, don't ask how i know all this

Yep, one of the things that scares the bajeebies me. I ALWAYS nock an arrow when drawing the bow, regardless of what I'm doing. I have a bag target setup in the basement at 6ft I aim at when doing anything that requires the bow to be drawn. One of the shops I frequently haunt lets people draw the bows without an arrow. It just makes me cringe seeing some 15 year old kid who hardly has enough strength to get the bow back, then try letting it down with his fingers.
Use an arrow. Its the cheapest insurance policy I know of against a dry fire.
Dryfiring is definitely a scary thing to do, especially when your bow is brand new. I would take Gilbblet's recommandations on checking the bow over, as that is only way to know for sure if anything has happened. I bet you won't do it again though!
